LAST WEDDING WEEKEND

I survived wedding season, wahooo!! On Saturday I photographed the last one of the year up Chesterfield way so me and Steven decided to make a weekend out of it. We drove up on Friday (I was feeling a liiiiittle worse for wear after my work leaving drinks on Thursday evening) so we set off at 12 in the hopes to have a wander round and visit the venue before going out for tea but the M1 traffic had other ideas and we ended up in grid lock for a few hours which was a load of crap!

We went straight out for tea when we got there though, I love little village pubs you always get wayyyy more food then you possibly need. Chips, mash, carrots, swede, peas, cabbage and salad to accompany a veg lasagne and bbq chicken thing, crikey!

Saturday was the wedding day itself, it was a good one to end on - loads of people, the bride and groom are like something out of a magazine and they had tipis in a field for the reception! I'm really looking forward to getting those pics edited and handed over. I think I might do a little post on my thoughts on wedding photography just so I remember everything if I take on any more next year.

Before heading back to London on Sunday we detoured to Bakewell for a little mooch about - and to get one of the famous Bakewell puddings -that's pudding not tart you just read, Mr Kipling hasn't got anything on these bad boys. They are made with a flaky pastry base, a little jam and have a weird egg custard like consistency to them, I really really like them but apparently they're not to everyones taste. If I lived near by I'd be having them everyday! Im glad we got to explore this area of the country a little bit too, I don't think I've ever really been round there before but I'd like to go back and visit Chatsworth.

And that was that, weekend done. I start my new job today which I have all kinds of emotions for at the minute terrified/excited/anxious/happy/even more terrified etc... eeek!
